A STUDY ON THE CORROSION INHIBITION PROPERTIES OF MACROTYLOMA UNIFLORUM (HORSE GRAM) ON MILD STEEL

Abstract

In this research work, the seed extract of the lentil, Macrotyloma uniflorum (Horse gram) was used for the study of corrosion inhibition on mild streel in 0.1 M HCl. The experimental study was done using the method of weight loss at various temperatures. It was found that as the volume of seed extract increased, the inhibitor efficiency also increased drastically. The same behavior was observed at different temperatures also.
